Application of Numerical Optimization to Design of Composite Shafts
Torsional shafts made from fibrous composite materials are designed for minimum weight. Multiple loading conditions are considered. Design variables are the shaft inner diameter, the ply thicknesses, and the ply orientations. Design constraints include limits on ply strain, displacement, frequency,...
